I did tell you that this is a super versatile stamp set. Look at this quick and I do mean quick and simple card made using it and the Hopscotch B&T (remember Hopscotch retires on March 31st so don't miss out on it).

I really like how colorful and whimsical this card is. Here is a list of all the supplies used and the cutting instructions (this one goes together in minutes).

This is just another example of some really adorable cards that can be made with this cartridge. Like the Saint Patrick's Day shaker card I made in my previous post these are all quick and easy because the cartridge does all the work for you. Don't forget it also comes with a package of Daisy White Cardstock and three beautiful stamp sets so you can get started creating your cards immediately. If you are interested in the cartridge it is available on my website at www.craftwithronnie.ctmh.com or by clicking the shopping cart at the top of this blog. Happy Crafting!!!!

I just can't get over everything I can/have made with this one stamp set. It can be used for just about everything. I saw several cards made by Liz Johnson using this stamp set and the Hopscotch B&T papers (remember these papers are going to retire on March 31st). I just knew the ladies in my card workshop would love using it because they could individualize the cards for the events they need them for. Some mad them birthday cards, some made them thinking of you cards, some made them just because cards and one even made a sympathy card. The possibilities are just endless.

Sentiment is whatever
you want from the Happy to be Friends stamp set (C1605) so you can make tons of these and each one is different.All the supplies for this project can be found on my website at www.craftwithronnie.ctmh.com or by clicking the shopping cart at the top of this blog. Happy Crafting!!!

I loved the look of the Heartstrings card making kit but I really didn't need 15 Valentine's Day cards so I bought it and re-purposed it. Here is what I came up with...

I took it from a Valentine's Card and made it something I could use everyday. I plan to re-purpose the whole kit. (Best part, I cut out everything for the 15 cards and still had enough materials left for at least 10 more if I just added a few things from my stash). So here are the cuts for this one (remember if you order the Workshop on the Go Heartstrings Cardmaking Kit it includes all the cutting diagrams, papers, card bases, stamps (except the sentiment I used on this one) envelopes, pixie twine and more to make this card and lots more for just $24.95 it is item # G1090). If you like this one don't wait it will only be available until March 31st.

Here are the supplies and cutting instructions if you want to buy items individually or use some you already have....

Use liquid glass tape
to attach acetate to the back of the front of the card covering the
clovers and let it dry well (just a few minutes). Then I placed the 3-D foam tape (1/4”) completely
around the edges of the back of the front of the card (be sure not to leave gaps or your glitter and sequins will fall out). Pour in glitter and sequins add the topiary
cardstock. Attach ribbon and shake
away!!!Everyone in my workshop loved this card, it is just fun to play with. Supplies can be purchased at www.craftwithronnie.ctmh.com or by clicking the shopping cart at the top of this blog. Happy Crafting!!!

When I first got my SOTM set I thought, now how am I going to use that. We I found tons of inspiration including some cute cards designed by Kathy Burrows using the stamp set and I was hooked. Here is the one I made...

I also made one using two of the pink tones, Hollyhock and Pixie papers and inks and the Joyfull Birthday stamp set (B1419) which I love and use all the time. Here is a picture of it....

So here goes, super easy to make I promise (although hubby didn't realize I stamped the paper, nor did one of the ladies in the workshop, they both thought I was using patterned paper).

These are the supplies I used to make the blue card but you can just switch out the cardstock and ink for whatever colors you want.

February SOTM – A Happy Hello (S1502)

Pacifica cardstock 5 ½ x 8 ½” folded to 5 ½ x 4 ¼”
(X5759)

Crystal Blue cardstock 5 ¼ x 4” (1292)

Daisy White cardstock 5 x 3 ¾” (1385)

Pacifica Ink (Z2192)

Crystal Blue Ink (Z2117)

Bitty Sparkles (Z1263)

All supplies are available on my website at www.craftwithronnie.ctmh.com or you can go there by clicking the button at the top of this blog. Hope you like this project and Happy Crafting!!!!

About Me

I am the mother of two grown sons and the wife of a truly amazing guy. I am retired and I am finally getting to do all the things I really love to do and crafting is one of the big ones. I have been crafting in various mediums for years but I have to say I love paper crafting the most. I had used the awesome Close to my Heart products for scrapbooking and card making and knew the quality was great. So I figured why not become a consultant. Something not only to keep me busy post retirement. It doesn't feel like a job because it is a product I believed in and use as well as an opportunity to get with others and craft together. Of course there was the perk of continuing to have a legitimate reason to buy even more of those awesome products. Visit me at www.craftingwithronnie.ctmh.com or www.facebook.com/craftwithronnie
